Training Course Overview

Reliable, safe, and efficient power distribution equipment is crucial for any electrical installation. This Power Distribution Equipment training course covers the construction, operation, and maintenance of key components, including transformers, circuit breakers, ring main units, switches, and protection devices. Safe operation is ensured through the use of modern and advanced relays and protection systems. Power distribution can be either overhead or underground, with auxiliary power supplied by uninterruptible power supplies.

Protection systems are designed to prevent damage to electrical equipment and to isolate faulty sections, ensuring continuous supply to other parts of the system. Advances in technology, along with changes in how utilities and industrial organizations operate, have highlighted the importance of integrated protection and control systems.

This training course will feature:

  • The construction and operations of transformers
  • The characteristics of circuit breakers
  • The importance and role of UPS and batteries
  • The types of maintenance
  • The functionalities of protection relays

Training Course Objectives

By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:

  • Understand the major power distribution equipment
  • Determine the various types maintenance strategies
  • Explain the different types of circuit breakers
